Hi Everyone
I thought I would ask a different question about MW. His early years of the war. Specifically
1) what unit, and what did he do in Poland? what areas did he fight in if he did ?
2) again, what unit, and what did he do in the invasion of the west in May 40? what area's did he fight in and thru?
3) Balkans - Same questions
There is alot of info on russia, and of course France 44 but I can find very little info (wiki?) about his early years, the war years. I am reading a book on the Waffen SS and it is about the whole unit(s) and there is info on Kurt Meyer and Leibstandarte but i do not know if Michael was in this unit during these times as well?
anyway, was hoping for some good detail on the years leading up to Barbarossa.
thanks much
